Andover Down, Andover, Hampshire SP11

A practical and beautifully presented family home extending to just over 2,300 sq.ft, set in delightful gardens of about 0.46 acres.

Description
Fairways is an elegant 1930s family home that has been thoughtfully extended and beautifully modernised over recent years. The house retains the generous proportions and high ceilings characteristic of the period, while the recent refurbishment has introduced a refined contemporary finish, creating a superb balance of comfort, style and practicality.

An attractive arched doorway opens into a welcoming porch and on to a particularly spacious entrance hall. The sitting room is an incredibly inviting space, centred around a feature fireplace with a wood burner, offering an ideal setting for relaxed and cosy evenings. The heart of the home is the impressive open plan kitchen/dining/family room, an exceptional, atmospheric space designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a central island and Neff appliances, with beautiful views across the landscaped rear garden. The dining area accommodates a large table and benefits from bi fold doors that open directly on to the terrace. The adjoining family area, complete with an impressive cylindrical wood burner, provides a warm and versatile living space. From here, a door leads to a separate office, equally suited to use as a snug or playroom. A utility room with external access and a cloakroom complete the ground floor. Underfloor heating runs throughout this level, complemented by Amtico flooring in all rooms except the sitting room.

Upstairs, the landing is enhanced by a beautiful stained glass window. The principal bedroom is a generous, light-filled room with a central fireplace and a modern en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, one with its own en suite and Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, along with a well-appointed family bathroom.

The property is approached via electric gates on to a gravel
driveway, providing extensive parking and access to both a double garage and an additional single garage. In total, the plot extends to approximately 0.46 acres. The rear garden is a particular highlight, thoughtfully landscaped to offer year-round interest, with level lawn, established planting, specimen trees and a choice of seating areas ideal for outdoor dining. This garden really is a hidden gem. Towards the far end are fruit trees, a shed/workshop and a lovely outlook across neighbouring farmland.

In all, Fairways has been finished to an exceptional standard, offering a beautifully presented family home that blends period charm with contemporary design.
